Part 3 passes from normal tissue growth to cancer. Older cells are shown at their degenerative stage. Motile cells are active against degenerative ones. Reaction after radium; a clock is present in the top right of the frame to illustrate the pasing of time. 00:06:40 approx an intertitle explains that the scientific part of the film was photographed by the late Dr. R. G. Canti when he was investigating the effect of radium and x-rays on living tissues. The original cinemotographic apparatus he designed is shown.

1 encoded moving image (09:16 min.) : silent, black and white

The cultivation of living tissue. Part 3.

A film demonstrating Canti's research into cell behaviour in real-time and time-lapse. This film provides a fascinating insight into the development of the chick embryo.

1 videocassette (Digibeta) (15 min.) : silent, black and white, PAL. 1 DVD (15 min.) : silent, black and white, PAL.

Contributions to embryology

29 pages, 12 leaves of plates : illustrations (Some color) ; 30 cm.

Early stages in the development of pig embryos, from the period of initial cleavage to the time of the appearance of limb-buds / by C.H. Heuser and G.L. Streeter.

Press dossier / Dossier de Presse

Adoption of an opinion on human embryo research / the European Group on Ethics in Science and New Technologies = Adoption d'un avis sur la recherche sur les embryons humains / le Groupe Européen d'Ethique des Sciences et des Nouvelles Technologies.

The work of the photographer Lennart Nilsson, famous for his cinemicrography and time-lapse film of embryology in humans and animals. The series provides an over-view of the full range of his work, with Nilsson's own commentary and explanation. "Part 1: Evolution" Compares human and animal embryos at similar stages of development, explaining the evolutionary process by which humans diverged from apes.

The Saga of Life:

1 videocassette (VHS) (60 min.) : sound, color, PAL.

Evolution.

Scientific frontiers in developmental toxicology and risk assessment / Committee on Developmental Toxicology, Board on Environmental Studies and Toxicology, Commission on Life Sciences, National Research Council.

"The CAHBI-R-EF examined the report on the use of human foetal, embryonic and pre-embryonic material for diagnostic, therapeutic, scientific, industrial and commercial purposes prepared by the consulting expert, Dr. Anne McLaren, and held a preliminary exchange of views on the matter."
